The label has started to change from spring to summery. It is a refreshing sake with the flavor of rice. The accompaniment is Tsukasa Gyoza

A souvenir from a business trip to Hagi. It was a nice sake. I want to drink it again.

Japanese>English

At Hankyu Department Store I had a chance to drink all kinds of sake. The nigori was also delicious. They also gave us a 1:1 blend of nigori and junmai. It was also delicious. The one that caught my attention was the Junmai sake "P&A (Panda)", Junmai sake "P&A (Panda)". It's black and white, so I guess it's 🐼😁. It is said that lactic acid is not used in the yeast stocking but is substituted with citric acid produced from white and black malted rice and fermented slowly at low temperature. It is refreshing and light to drink. Pleasant acidity and a clean aftertaste, but it was a bit unusual.

Today, a Junmai Daiginjo Yamazakura Momo (YASURA) from Sudo Honke in Ibaraki Prefecture: ❗️ The aroma is faintly like old sake. The first sip has a dense texture on the tongue. After that, it has a numbness and a deep flavor like old sake. ❗️The sake we drank this time was last year's sake, so it was a nama-zake, but it didn't have much of a nama-zake feel. ❗️❗️

I was curious about this sake when I saw it on Sake no Wa before. It was given to me as a present by chance. It has a spreading umami and a bitter finish. It was a delicious sake. The "Recommended for you" list has become full of Hokkaido sake 😀.

Japanese>English

I opened a bottle of "Hokuto Zuisho", a souvenir from my recent business trip to Hokkaido, which I purchased at a liquor store in Kitami called "Mayanagi Sake Shop"! My business trip was via Sapporo, Obihiro, Kushiro, Nemuro, Abashiri, and Kitami (Memanbetsu Airport) on my way home. Naturally, I went to an izakaya (Japanese-style pub) on the way, but I decided to limit myself to sake from Hokkaido, so I had a bottle of Nemuro's "Kita no Katsu Shiboritate" in Kushiro. I asked for a recommendation for sake from Hokkaido and was recommended "Kaminokawa Taisetsu". However, I had drunk it some time ago, and after much deliberation, I chose "Hokuto Zuisho," which I had never heard of, and it turned out to be the right choice. It is a beautiful, well-balanced sake with a slightly sweet, fragrant, and crisp taste. It is made from Hokkaido rice, with a rice polishing ratio of 45% and an alcohol content of 16%. Delicious!

It is Kamikawa Taisetsu Shuzo's Kamikawa Junmai Sake. It was purchased at a Seven-Eleven in Sounkyo, Kamikawa-cho. It is a good sake with good acidity and sharpness. It is good to drink at room temperature.

Japanese>English

It is a sake limited to the Asahikawa area, but you can find it in restaurants these days. It has been a while since I drank it, but the label seems to have changed. It is fruity, refreshing, and easy to drink. It is a good and inexpensive sake with a nice taste of rice. ‼️

Japanese>English

It is the sake which is sold in the Seven-Eleven of Kamikawa-cho or Sounkyo in Hokkaido. I bought it as a souvenir for my wife on the way back from a snowboarding trip to Kamikawa in March. I always buy it when I go to Kamikawa area... It's really good!

Local sake, KuraMaster gold medal winning sake. Classic aroma. The taste is clean and refreshing, with a sweet and umami taste of rice, and a rich flavor. It is a classic dry sake that looks good when heated.

I got it in Hakata in May and finally opened the bottle. I drink it cold. Ahh. Well-balanced, delicious sake. Kyushu sake is delicious. And this sake is from Kurume. I'd like to try this sake with Kurume ramen.

The lid opens quickly. Lactic acidity, savory smell of rice. Apple, umami, refreshing acidity, not too forward sweetness, plum-like acidity swells. Delicious on its own. I am a fan of baby star with hot water, but this time I left it as it is. The taste of the baby star matches the deliciousness of the sake, and the sake envelops it nicely. The combined aftertaste is irresistible. It is so good that I would buy it if I tasted it.

Japanese>English

It seems to be a drink that is drunk six months after the first visit to the summer and in conjunction with the seventh day of the seventh month of the year. The smell is a little sweet and oily. The mouthfeel is refreshing. After enjoying the refreshing taste, there is a lingering sourness. It is delicious. When served with a meal, it changes to a watery taste, but the alcohol and flavors make a statement. It has been exorcised and is now safe.

Origuchi Sake-ten suddenly started taking reservations for Wakabisu, so I went to make a reservation last week and received it today. The rice is Kami no Ho. I didn't feel any gas, but there were lots of bubbles in the glass. I was told it was a food type wine, but it was more fruity and pineapple-like than I expected. It's not flashy, but it's delicious with a moderate sweetness and flavor. Wakabisu sake brewery is close to Aoyama-cho station, so you can go there by train 🤔.

Kansai Salmon Ware year-end party⑳⑳ We said goodbye to Umaisan, Maru, Rutemi, pyonpyo and Robin and went to the 3rd party. Mr. Muchi helped us to find a restaurant for the after-party too. I remember it was pretty fruity and refreshing. We also drank Niiyu's dry sake and Toyo Bijin's straight kumi, which is not on the menu 😋. I always listen to kan's 🐴 stories: 👂️ Mother and father are important 🐎. Jive-san had to leave on the way because his train time came 🙋. Finally, Nemuchi and I had ramen at Ramen Nigamushi Chicken before heading home 😋. I've never had ramen before and it was delicious 🍜. Aochan who went missing also went to another ramen restaurant 😁. I lost the sake that Jive gave me, so I went back to the after-party later, but it's a secret 🤫. Thank you very much to Gyumu-san who always organizes off-line meetings, and to everyone who participated 🙇.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Summer only sake 😆. Sweet and thick 😳. It's like coarse 😅. When you take your time to sip it, it softens a bit and has a dry melon aftertaste. Softened by Aizu's specialty, squid and carrots. The final dish is a chilled shoyu sauce, which is unique to summer. But it is rather refreshing. The soup is delicious. But I wonder if it's a change 🤔. Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aizuna @ Jujo 20230801

The sake is made and labeled in a way that takes advantage of the climate of Oarai, Ibaraki. It is refreshingly dry when served cold. When heated, it becomes more floral and friendly. I'd like to try it with sea bream or flatfish from Oarai.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Oarai-grown Chiyonishiki It is more rough than fresh. However, it is not rough at all. It has a refreshing taste, and the umami of the rice spreads slowly. I've had many Tsuki no I's with this kind of atmosphere! I think it will probably become milder and more flavorful with aging, but I like it better as it is because it has its own personality.

Japanese>English

Banana like aroma. The mouthfeel is slightly sweet. After that, the dry taste or the feeling of running spreads to the mouth. There is a hint of bitterness, but the aftertaste is sweet. Tsuki no Ii has a new toji (brewer) this season, and they are making sake under a new system. I can't wait to see how it changes 🤗
